This is even more challenging than the lover cranes. As the folding goes on, the attaching wings nearly broke off! I think I will have to use thicker paper or bigger piece of paper next time in order to make this looks better.

Took me quite awhile to finish this piece of "Painting By Numbers". As I had back sprain and I couldn't really sit down for long for quite sometime. After my back sprain got better, I started to prepare my DIY Xmas gifts for family, friends & colleagues. So I only completed this last Sunday. I'm quite happy with the end result and I will start another new painting maybe after Xmas! =D

First time trying, not a good job. Seriously it's not an easy job to fold rose using aluminium can. Personally I think the rose is not very smooth yet, my friend says practise makes perfect, I hope so too. Wahaha... At first I thought my fingers will get cuts easily but too my surprise, it does not. Will try to make a better one in the near future =D

My first time trying this kind of minature. You have to make everything from scratch, like the books, the sofa etc... I must admit, the workmanship of mine are only so-so, it could be better. It's not an easy job though, as the instructions are too simplified.. it names the material A1-A6 etc on the paper but not on the material itself, so I have to keep referring to the picture in order to ensure that I got the correct material on hand! But it's fun! Strictly not recommended for impatient individuals. Great gift for people who love miniatures & handicrafts. =D If I got the chance and extra cash to spare, I would love to try a bigger one with more things!

Pastries made out from paper. I bought it from Daiso thinking that it will not be a difficult thing to make but the instructions are in Japanese. Had some problem searching on which piece of paper is for which instructions. Tried to figure out certain things on my own. But I must say.. due to the nice printings on the paper, the pastries really came out looking good =D

Original characters from http://www.facebook.com/relaxedloklok
Read the comics and fell in love with these 5 main characters. So I seek approval from the comic artist to convert them into cross stitch. Took me quite some time to draw them nicely to look like the original ones. And here they are, I'm quite satisfied with it though I think there's room for improvements. =D

This one kinda challenging, and instruction was not that clear. I didn't manage to do it on the first try. But I did it on my 2nd try. I think I can do it better on he 3rd try~ =D will make one more soon~

Really mini size.. but it's very cute!! However, it's not that easy to figure out how to make even though the instruction is in front of me.. reason being that the instruction is not very clear. =_= Wanted to give up a few times while making... Anyway, now I manage to figure out, I will make 1 more pair, and I think this time round it will be better =D

After I made the Pom Pom Purin Cushion, I found a few other designs of cushion! This is the Melody design, the original design is only 1-sided but I made it both sides. Lol..I think it looks better on both sides, just a bit troublesome when making it.

A few has asked me for the Angry Birds Cross Stitch Chart. I draw this but I'm not the one that design it. I took this picture with my handphone as my scanner was down, so it might be a bit unclear... The DMC colours used was based on what I think match the game colours, you may change it to something else that looks better. Hope it helps =D

This time I use round beads and gosh.. it look so many times better than using bicone beads. I placed an iTouch behind so my friend can gauge how big the cushion is. Tried using 2mm beads to make.. but failed.. =_= Will find time to try again.

Finally completed this after using 4 days (in 2 weeks time). Those small areas and thin outlines are killers but luckily acrylic paints dry easily and can be overwrite easily too. My elder sister say I have more patience whereas the kids does not. I guess I've trained my patience by doing beadings & cross-stitching.. I still have 1 25X25 & and 1 30X40 painting by numbers with me. I will be making my beading products first before I get back to painting. =D

This should look better by using round beads but due to shortage of colours, I have to use bicone beads. It's just a sample anyway, may need to do some changes to cater to my friend's needs. My personal opinion, I still think it look nice. =D Time to go Dragonwell shop to do some shopping.

2nd try on a bigger piece of painting. This design has more smaller areas to test your skill of tidiness and patience!! When the colour has been slowly filled up, you can feel a sense of happiness and achievement on it! Think I can complete it by Sunday, will update again.

Got to know this "Painting By Numbers" from a friend. The set consists of a canvas (with picture drawn on it, printed with numbers), containers of paint and a brush (or more depending on the size of the painting). All you have to do is to colour matching the number printed on the canvas and the number labelled on the container. This is my first try, I must say it's quite fun. And the outcome is nice. look professional too. =D
